        <b>lmitool()</b>
      </tt> or <tt>
        <b>lmitool(filename)</b>
      </tt> is used to define 
    interactively a LMI problem.
    In the non interactive mode,
    <tt>
        <b>txt=lmitool(probname,varlist,datalist)</b>
      </tt>
    generates a file in the current directory. The name of this file 
    is obtained by adding <tt>
        <b>.sci</b>
      </tt> to the end of <tt>
        <b>probname</b>
      </tt>. 
    This file is the skeleton of a solver function and the corresponding 
    evaluation function needed by <tt>
        <b>lmisolver</b>
      </tt>.</p>
